Children'S Day.

The General Assembly of the Presby
terrain Church, in 1878, appointed the
third Sabbath of June as Children's Day.
In 1879 the time was changed, and from
that day to this, the second Sabbath in
June has been observed as Children
Day. The day will be observed by the
Presbyterians of this city by an appropri-
ate sermon in the morning by the pastor,
and in the evening by the school. A pro-
gramme of great beauty has been selected
and the exercises throughout, it is hoped,
will be interesting and attractive.

They got upon the bottom of the boat and

Distress After Eating.-This result of in.
digestion will no longer be experienced If
Simmons Liver Regulator is taken after
each meal. 1t is such good digester. and
so mild and pleasant in its effect that it is
used by many, after hearty meal, to in
sure good digestion. The Regulator does
not nauseate or irritate the stomach, but
corrects acidity, dispels foul gases, allays
irritation, and assists the stomach in its
digestion.

nenntx in Rrindisi.

The colors of Brindisi, like its latitude,
are south tropical. Even on dull day
we could enjoy the olives and pinks and
light greens and grays of the houses. At
distance they are white, but close at
hand the illusion goes. Then the dress of
the people is as vivid as the tone of their
lustrous skin or their fine black eyes.
The men, for the most part, go about in
blue blouses, with little or nothing under
meath; but the women coruscate with
necklets of metal and glass, and are as
gay as rainbows besides in parti colored
cotton and wool. The lasses loved being
sketched, moreover. They stuck their
plump arms akimbo, set themselves well
on their legs and stood like things Of
brass as long as they were asked to stand
1t was pretty again to see them in the
market place, sitting in the midst of great
heaps of vivid oranges. But as hueksters
they are little importunate, and it is
not every man that would feel at ease

ALondon Mystery.

London is place of mysteries Look
ing out of one of the windows at the back
of DIR. Fothergill's house / saw an inn
mense wooden blind, such as we have on
our windows in summer, but reaching
from the ground as high as the top of the
neighboring houses. While admitting the
air freely, it shuts the property to which it
belonged completely from sight. asked
the meaning of this extraordinary struc-
ture, and learned that it was put up by a
great nobleman, of whose subterranean
palace and strange seclusion / had before
heard. Common report attributed his
unwilIingness to be seen to a disfguring
malady with which he was said to be af-
flicted. The story was that he was visible
only to his valet. But q lady of quality,
whom met in this country, told me she
had seen him, and observed nothing TO
justify it. These old countries are full Of
romances and legends and diableries of all
sorts, in which truth and lies are so mixed
that one does not know what to believe.
What happens behind the high walls of
the old cities is as much a secret as were
the doings inside the prisons of the inqui
sition.-Dr. Holmes in The Atlantic.

The Montauks were a powerful tribe Of
Indians, but although their time was
largely taken up with making shell money
and stringing it together, they were not
notoriously wealthy. Their wampum was
worth more after it had worked its way
inland than il was on Montauk Point,
where any fool could sit down and grind
out 81 900 in cold and clammy cash in one
afternoon. On pleasant days they rowed
across the sound, gave the Pequots an
everlasting walloping, and in the evening
returned to their squaws, their mus
quit0es, their shell heaps and their names.
Language in the old days must have been
onamatop0etic; the meaning must have
been evidenced in the sound, and gentle
men who sat up nights making names for
Long Island summer resorts must have
been influenced by the tree toads and
frogs that abound there.

Aristophanesl Say over these Indian

The question is often asked; can q wo.
mao engage in all active business life, and
vet retain the ch erm Of delieacy which is
peculiarly hers? The really refined woman
will loose nothing of her charm, no matter
what her pursuit or it's surroundings. And
it is the woman who is trained to the great.
eat development of her powers, who will
fill every relation in life best, and to this
accomplished, cultured and attractive bat
to be educated and trained so as to fit them
for whatever life may demand. 1t is fol-
the general good of girls that they be
taught self-support and independence OF

SToNEwALL JACKSON TO HIS PASTOR
ATHENS, Ga, February IAN unpub-
lished letter, written by Stonewall Jackson
to his pastor, has just been made public
here. 1t has been hidden away in the
trunk of an Elberton lady. whose brother
found it on one Of the battlefelds of Vir.
ginia. The letter bears marks of the fading
touch of time, but the writing is distinct.
The letter is as follows:
caroline COUNTY, VA, Feb. 70, 1888.
"B1y Dear Pastor.-I drop you a note to
say that your son Toms application to be
transferred to the cavalry had been made
before your letter reached me. / regret
that he should have taken such step, as
think he would have had more desirable
position with Gen. Paxton. He is now q
member of Company G. First Virginia
cavalry. This company is from Reckbridge,
and is the same that Mat White brought
into the field. If / can be of any service to
you, at any time, hope that you will COM
mand my services. Such funds as have
in your hands please appropriate as you
think will do the most good, and in such
manner as to have none on hand at the end
of the year. The Stonewall Brigade is
holding services twice during the Sabbath
in building which the brigade has nearly
completed. Mr.. Hopkins, of our church,
preached there last Sabbath evening.
Please remember me very kindly to Mrs.
White and Mrs. McCrum.
fsVery truly your friend.
